Hi All-
Having a low undergrad GPA is seriously discouraging. I was wondering if you all could tell me if I'm wasting my time.
Undergrad is from BU 2.56, major is in an unrelated field. I went through the loss of a best friend and roommate which really left me apathetic towards school and my grades...however it turned me on to medicine.
Since college I have worked for almost 2 years as a dental assistant, my functions are very broad. I am lucky to work for someone who challenges me and pushes me to understand the ins and outs of dentistry.
I love what I do. With in 2 months of working as a DA I knew I wanted to become a dentist.
So, all that being said, I plan to attend a post bac at UMD to get my sciences while working as a dental assistant part time. Assuming I get as close as possible to a 4.0 and a great score on the DATs...what do you think my chances are for getting into dental school after this?
Thanks so much, I appreciate any responses or advice I can get!!
